沃尔沃近日正式发布了(第二代)2015款XC90。全新XC90无疑是沃尔沃近年来最重要的车型。这款中级尺寸豪华SUV在外观上采用渐进式改款,利用更精致的线条和整体更优雅的外观,这在同级车中是不多见的。它的车头采用了更大的镀铬边框格栅,中间是双股竖条,两侧是全新“雷神之锤”LED日间行驶灯和前大灯。雾灯位于前保险杠底部,而保险杠上的铝制嵌条则使车头更显档次。车辆侧面轮廓干净整齐,车窗同样采用镀铬边框,外加硕大的后侧窗,同时可配备最大22英寸合金轮圈。而在车尾,沃尔沃重新演绎了XC90标志性的尾灯组,不仅更锐利,而且与车身契合得更完美。另外还配备了与车顶集成在一起的后扰流器。而在底部,根据不同版本可提供矩形或圆形双排气尾管。对于那些喜欢更粗犷外观的消费者,沃尔沃还在可轮拱,保险杠和侧裙周围安装深色塑料防擦条而非铝制装饰。车厢内采用极简主义设计风格,只设置了少数几个旋钮,更多原来用按键的功能都被中控台上硕大的,堪比ipad的触控显示屏所替代。在方向盘后面是数字仪表群,而少数几个按键,包括音量和引擎启停按键采用钻石切割工艺,同时集成了语音控制,苹果CarPlay系统,HERE导航系统和爱立信提供的云计算解决方案。车辆内部最多可搭乘七名乘客,座椅采用软质真皮包裹,舒适性和支撑性都很优异,第三排座椅可搭乘身高1.7米乘客,每个座椅都有独立储物空间。同时还配备了四温区空调和1400瓦,19声道Bowers & Wilkins音响。除了真皮内饰,还结合了铝制嵌条,实木装饰和其他高档材质,为乘客们营造了豪华,舒适的内部环境。新一代XC90采用全新的SPA(Scalable Product Architecture)可扩展整车平台架构,提供了一系列新的安全系统,包括自动刹车,道路边缘和障碍物探测,驾驶员警示控制,车道保持辅助,交通标志信息,盲点信息,排队辅助,黑暗环境行人探测等。至于动力系统,由于新车搭载了新的Drive-E四缸引擎,因此车厂形容该车为“世界上动力最强,最清洁SUV”。其中D5双涡轮柴油引擎功率168千瓦/225马力,扭矩470牛米,车辆百公里油耗仅为6升,D4引擎功率142千瓦/190马力,扭矩400牛米,百公里油耗仅为5升。而在汽油引擎方面,T6涡轮和机械增压引擎,最大功率239千瓦/320马力,扭矩400牛米。略低的T5引擎功率189千瓦/254马力,扭矩350牛米。此外,该车还提供了T8插电混动系统,包括一台2.0升涡轮机械增压四缸引擎用于驱动前轮,另有一台60千瓦/80马力电机驱动后轮,综合输出功率298千瓦/400马力,扭矩640牛米,在纯电动模式下最长可行驶40公里。另外,沃尔沃还提供了1927辆First Edition版本(沃尔沃成立于1927年),每辆车都有单独编号,该车可搭载T6或D5引擎。该版本仅在线销售,采用黑玛瑙车身涂装,21英寸八辐Inscription轮圈,纳帕真皮座椅,胡桃木嵌条以及碳褐色真皮仪表板。2015款XC90将于明年初在哥德堡托斯兰达(Torslanda)工厂投产,五月开始交付。T6全轮驱动版在美国起价48900美元(约合人民币30.12万元),而T6 First Edition版本起价65900美元(约合人民币40.6万元),9月3日在线销售。
2015 Volvo XC90 SUV officially revealed
Volvo has officially taken the wraps off the highly anticipated second generation XC90.
The all-new XC90 is without any doubt Volvo's most important model in recent years as even the company's CEO said in an interview it's the last chance for the Geely-owned brand. The mid-size luxury SUV adopts an evolutionary design with more refined lines and an overall elegant look which is hard to find in this segment given the usual shape of SUVs.
At the front we notice the very attractive headlights featuring "Thor's Hammer" LED daytime running lights flanking a generous chromed grille with vertical double slats. The fog lights have been positioned low in the bumper while the aluminum inserts provide a more upscale look. The side profile shows some clean lines forming an uncluttered design with chrome window framing, a big rear-side window and up to 22-inch alloy wheels.
Volvo went for a more modern interpretation of the XC90's signature taillights which now look sharper and suit the model very well. There's also a prominent roof-mounted spoiler and depending on the version there are round or rectangle double exhaust tips. For those wanting a more rugged look, Volvo will be offering dark plastic mouldings on the wheel arches, bumpers and side skirts instead of an aluminum finish.
The interior cabin was revealed towards the end of May showing a minimalistic configuration with only a few buttons as most of the knobs have been replaced by a generous touchscreen display. The cabin can host up to seven people sitting on soft leather upholstered seats and enjoying a four-zone climate control system and a 1,400-watt, 19-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system. The Swedish marque has used a combination of aluminum inserts, wood trim and other premium materials to create what they describe as being the most luxurious interior ever seen in a Volvo.
It will boast a digital instrument cluster and diamond-cut controls for volume and start/stop, while "state of the art" voice recognition and Apple's CarPlay integration are also on the menu. Volvo says the third row of seats can host people that are up to 1.7 meters tall and each passenger will benefit from its own stowage space. Also inside the spacious cabin there's a HERE navigation system and an Ericsson-based cloud solution.
Riding on the brand new Scalable Product Architecture, the 2015 Volvo XC90 will come with an extensive array of safety equipment such as auto brake, road edge and barrier detection, driver alert control, lane keeping aid, road sign information, blind spot information, queue assist, pedestrian detection in the darkness and rest stop guidance and many others.
As far as the engines are concerned, the second-gen XC90 is billed as being "the world's most powerful and cleanest SUV" thanks to a brand new range of Drive-E engines which all have four cylinders. The twin-turbodiesel D5 packs 225 bhp (168 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) and allows the vehicle to return 39.2 mpg US (47 mpg UK or 6 liters / 100 km). A D4 with 190 bhp (142 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) will also be offered and promises to do 56.5 mpg US (47 mpg UK or 5 liters / 100 km).
If you prefer gasoline motors, Volvo has prepared a T6 turbocharged & supercharged engine rated at 320 bhp (239 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm). A lesser T5 variant will also be available with 254 bhp (189 kW) and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm).
The XC90 is also getting a T8 plug-in hybrid derivative featuring a 2.0-liter turbocharged & supercharged four-cylinder motor driving the front wheels and an 80 bhp (60 kW) electric motor to power the rear axle. It has a combined output of 400 bhp (298 kW) and 472 lb-ft (640 Nm) and will do 25 miles (40 km) solely on electric power.
There will be a First Edition series consisting of 1927 (the year Volvo was founded) individually numbered cars powered by either the T6 or D5. These will be sold exclusively online and will be distinguished by an onyx black exterior, 21-inch eight-spoke Inscription wheels as well as amber Nappa leather seats, walnut inlays and a charcoal leather-wrapped dashboard.
Production of the second generation Volvo XC90 will kick off at the beginning of next year in Torslanda, Gothenburg, with deliveries expected to commence in May. In United States, the XC90 T6 AWD will cost 48,900 USD, followed by the T6 First Edition at 65,900 USD which will be available on order online from September 3.
